"The chief weapon in the quiver of all Islamist expansionist movements, is the absolute necessity to keep victims largely unaware of the actual theology plotting their demise. To complete this deception, a large body of ‘moderates’ continue to spew such ridiculous claims as “Islam means Peace” thereby keeping non-Muslims from actually reading the Qur’an, the Sira, the Hadith, or actually looking into the past 1400 years of history. Islamists also deny or dismiss the concept of ‘abrogation’, which is the universal intra-Islamic method of replacing slightly more tolerable aspects of the religion in favor of more violent demands for Muslims to slay and subdue infidels"

Australia: Labor’s CO2 TAX On EVERYTHING explained, CO2 Tax for Dummies

CO2 Tax for Dummies

Let's put this into a bit of perspective for laymen!  Graphic Here

ETS is another tax. It is equal to putting up the GST to 12.5% which would be unacceptable and produce an outcry.

Read the following analogy and you will realize the insignificance of carbon dioxide as a weather controller.

Pass on to all in your address book including politicians and may be they will listen to their constituents, rather than vested interests which stand to gain by the ETS.

Here's a practical way to understand Julia Gillard Carbon Pollution Reduction Scheme.

Imagine 1 kilometer of atmosphere and we want to get rid of the carbon pollution in it created by human activity.  Let's go for a walk along it.

The first 770 meters are Nitrogen.

The next 210 meters are Oxygen.

That's 980 meters of the 1 kilometer.  20 meters to go.

The next 10 meters are water vapour.  10 meters left.

9 meters are argon.   Just 1 more meter.

A few gases make up the first bit of that last meter.

The last 38 centimeters of the kilometer - that's carbon dioxide.  A bit over one foot.

97% of that is produced by Mother Nature.  It’s natural.

Out of our journey of one kilometer, there are just 12 millimeters left.  Just over a centimeter - about half an inch.

That’s the amount of carbon dioxide that global human activity puts into the atmosphere.

And of those 12 millimeters Australia puts in .18 of a millimeter.

Less than the thickness of a hair.  Out of a kilometer!

As a hair is to a kilometer - so is Australia 's contribution to what Julia Gillard calls Carbon Pollution.

Imagine Brisbane 's new Gateway Bridge , ready to be opened by Julia Gillard. It's been polished, painted and scrubbed by an army of workers till its 1 kilometer length is surgically clean. Except that Julia Gillard says we have a huge problem, the bridge is polluted - there's a human hair on the roadway. We'd laugh ourselves silly.

There are plenty of real pollution problems to worry about.

It's hard to imagine that Australia 's contribution to carbon dioxide in the world's atmosphere is one of the more pressing ones.  And I can't believe that a new tax on everything is the only way to blow that pesky hair away.

Pass this on quickly while the ETS is being debated in Federal Parliament.

Australia:Former Labor leader Mark Latham says Liberal Party leader Tony Abbott more honest than Labor PM Julia Gillard

Latham attacks Gillard as fraud
Brendan Nicholson
The Australian
July 22, 2010 12:00AM
FORMER Labor leader Mark Latham last night exploded out of retirement to launch a scathing attack on the government.
He declared Julia Gillard's population policy was a "fraud of the worst order" and her education revolution had achieved nothing.





And Mr Latham suggested that Tony Abbott was more honest than the Prime Minister, a one-time friend of his. Mr Latham told Sky News that Ms Gillard was running a phony population campaign while saying she opposed the idea of a big Australia.
"She's been going on about sustainable population growth," Mr Latham said. "That's been her mantra for the past three or four days. It's an issue that's come out of the blue and she's defining her prime ministership around it.
"Today she said it's not an immigration debate. Where does she think all these people have been coming from in western Sydney? We grow them in our back garden? I mean, for every four people who move to Sydney from other parts of Australia, seven move to Sydney from overseas."
Mr Latham, the former MP for the southwestern Sydney seat of Werriwa, said any serious debate about population had to be about immigration.
"If it's not an immigration debate, it's no debate," he said.
"And I'll tell you what it is, it's a fraud. It's an attempt to con people in western Sydney that she's going to do something about congestion. And I think some smartie in the Labor Party worked out that sending out signals on population would be a proxy for the asylum-seeker and climate change debates. It's clever politics. But it's a fraud . . . of the worst order."
Mr Latham also supports putting a stop to Sydney's expansion and he said the way to do that was to stop moving more people into the western suburbs. He said that as a resident of western Sydney for 45 years, he was aware it was "absolutely chock-a-block".
He also attacked the education achievements at the core of Ms Gillard's push for re-election, saying he's seen no evidence of any education revolution.
Mr Latham then attacked the government's health policy, saying he did not see how putting a different set of bureaucrats in charge of hospital funding would produce a revolutionary result.
He said Ms Gillard was a changed person and suggested Mr Abbott was more honest. "She used to be fairly free-wheeling and open about things," he said.
"She has mastered the art of narrowness in public life."

The Prime Minister needs far greater media scrutiny

WEEK one of the campaign and Julia Gillard is getting away scot-free in some sections of the press. The Labor leader is doing everything by the book. She's the perfect 22 7 2010 Gillard candidate, produced to within an inch of her life with an apparently endless capacity for platitudes and recycled promises. She is, as we report today, " the girl in the bubble" created by her party machine. Many in the Fairfax media and the ABC seem mesmerised by the performance. That may be good news for Labor but it's bad for democracy, bad for the country and bad for the free press.

In March, editor-at-large Paul Kelly wrote about the progressive media's problems in reporting on Tony Abbott, whose "muscular, conservative Christianity" they found offensive. Rather than look at his policies, a Four Corners profile screened at that time focused on the Opposition Leader's religion, reflecting the ABC's dominant ideological mindset that Christianity is a "negative, repressive factor".

One might have thought, given her atheism, that these same journalists would have found it easier to focus on the things that really matter about Ms Gillard. One might have expected that, given she has been in the job for less than four weeks, the Prime Minister would have been under close scrutiny, her policies dissected along with her makeup. Not so. From day one when The Sun-Herald virtually endorsed Ms Gillard on its front page, they have failed to apply the basic rules of reporting to Labor's campaign.

There is no disputing that Mr Abbott has made it easy with his gaffe over industrial relations and his lacklustre start to the campaign. But the problem runs deeper, with the assumption that the conservative side of politics is fair game, while Labor needs not to be challenged too hard.This is not a new phenomenon. Throughout Kevin Rudd's ascendancy and his government, the ABC and Fairfax papers failed to nail his true character or understand what a mess he was in -- inside the party and in the electorate. They ignored the debacles over pink batts and the Building the Education Revolution. They swallowed the idiocy of alcopops, Grocery Choice and Fuel Watch. In short, they had no idea there was trouble at mill.

Now Ms Gillard is positioned as the new broom sweeping away the Rudd detritus. Except that since 2007 she was deputy prime minister and a member of the Kitchen Cabinet, as responsible as Mr Rudd for government decisions. Indeed, it was Ms Gillard who urged the backflip on the emissions trading scheme that helped undo Mr Rudd.

Yet her beliefs, political vision and policies are not being tested by many in the media.

Letting the Prime Minister off the hook does the nation a great disservice. We need to know what she -- and her government -- really stand for. We need to get behind Ms Gillard's carapace of genial certainty and start asking the tough questions about her policies and record. The past few days have shown both leaders are happy to focus on the diminishing horizon of reform. As Alan Mitchell wrote in The Financial Review this week, the Prime Minister is under pressure to mimic the example of former NSW premier Bob Carr and do "as little as possible for as long as possible". It is not good enough, but without more scrutiny, the Prime Minister might just get away with it. Mark Scott at the ABC and Brian McCarthy at Fairfax need to pick up the phone and tell their editors to muscle up and scrutinise both sides of politics.

Rudd’s Australia : Proscribed Muslim Terrorist Group permitted to hold HATE FEST in Sydney July 4 2010

 

Muslim Conference

Hizb ut- Tahrir

When our Federal attorney general is not writing character references for Iranian spy Sheikh Mansour Leghaei that ASIO deems to be a threat to our National Security, his Labor Party is allowing these Islamic Terrorists / Supporters to gather like a pack of Jackals at their Sydney head quarters, 12 Bridge Street Lidcombe in the heart of the Labor Party created, Sydney’s Occupied Territories, to consort and conspire to further the objectives of their Islamic Terrorist Organization.

Good Work Australian Labor Party and your financiers the Australian Council of Trade Unions, Australia’s “Working Families” really appreciate the great work you are doing.

Islams maddest of Islamic dogs down under enunciates "........support for military coups and revolutions to overthrow non-Muslim governments worldwide"
Islamist leader in call for revolution

Natalie O'Brien
The Australian
September 26, 2007

THE mysterious sheik behind the Australian chapter of Islamist group Hizb ut-Tahrir has revealed the organisation's support for military coups and revolutions to overthrow non-Muslim governments worldwide.
Ismail Al Wahwah, who was little known until last month when he was banned from a Hizb ut-Tahrir conference in Indonesia, spoke out on an Arabic radio program that revealed him as the "active member" of the group in Australia.

In an interview conducted in Arabic on SBS radio last month, he attacked the West's lack of values and backed the use of suicide bombings in Iraq and Palestine, even if they killed Australians.
"I say any occupied people have the responsibility to defend their country," he said in the interview, which The Australian had translated into English. "The victim ... should not be asked how he is defending himself."

Sheik Wahwah is understood to be the unofficial leader of Hizb ut-Tahrir in Australia. The Australian has obtained the first pictures of the man widely known in the Muslim community as Abu Anas.
Hizb ut-Tahrir's media spokesman, Wassim Doureihi, denied the sheik was the group's leader in Australia, saying Sheik Wahwah was a senior member and that his brother, Ashraf, a civil engineer at North Sydney Council, was the official leader.

But Sheik Wahwah is sent to address senior members of the Islamic community in Sydney on behalf of Hizb ut-Tahrir, and he was Australia's representative for the Indonesian conference.
On the radio program, he was introduced as the "active member" of the party - a statement he did not correct.

Hizb ut-Tahrir is a secretive organisation known as the Party of Islamic Liberation, which advocates the destruction of Western civilisation and the overthrow of governments and their replacement by Islamic rule.
The group is banned in Europe, China and Saudi Arabia, but remains legal in Britain and Australia, actively pushing the idea of a Muslim rule.
It has been investigated by ASIO but there is not enough evidence to proscribe it as a terrorist organisation. Five years ago, most Western observers did not consider Hizb ut-Tahrir a serious threat, but its influence has grown and it now has a presence in about 45 countries.

Sheik Wahwah has refused to speak to the mainstream media in Australia.
In his radio interview, he said the allegations that the failed London bomb plotters were linked to Hizb ut-Tahrir was another example of the clash of civilisations and the West's dropping of one of its most basic values - the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.
Sheik Wahwah expressed support for violent means to overthrow governments to achieve the group's aim of a caliphate.
He said if nations did not respond to the wishes of their people, the people should use all the powers they had, including the army, to usurp the rulers.
"It is up to the Ummah (community) to sort out its own matter with these rulers and remove their ruler in a public manner," he said.
"It could be such as a public revolution, public disobedience or a military coup ...
"We are in the front line with the Ummah. We don't engage in militant activities. Our case is to make the case of Islam the case of the Ummah."

 

Terror Australis:Wassim Doureihi Hizb ut-Tahrir wants a Caliphate

Hizb ut-Tahrir wants a Caliphate


By Wassim Doureihi
Daily Telegraph
July 12, 2007 12:00am

THE debate over Hizb ut-Tahrir has proven to be nothing more than a poorly scripted melodrama.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is a global Islamic political party working to re-establish the Islamic Caliphate within the Muslim world.

Since its inception in 1953, Hizb ut-Tahrir has been subject to the severest of repression by tyrants in the Muslim world. Our members have been consistently persecuted, imprisoned, tortured and murdered.
Despite operating under the most horrendous conditions, Hizb ut-Tahrir continues to oppose all forms of tyranny and dictatorship exclusively through intellectual and political means and in fact considers violence a violation of Islamic law.

Hizb ut-Tahrir's courageous stance in mobilising public opinion in the Muslim world has earned it the universal support of Muslim masses and caused widespread consternation among its opponents.
Hizb ut-Tahrir is now being targeted in the West for three primary reasons: The party continues to courageously expose the crimes of Western governments to a global audience; it unrelentingly challenges the West's neo-liberal interventionist policies in the Muslim world and it works to present Islam as an ideological alternative to Western secular capitalism as a model of governance in the Muslim world.
Critics of Hizb ut-Tahrir are desperately seeking to suppress debate. Our opposition to the illegal state of Israel, for instance, is howled down as anti-Semitism, our displeasure at the West's foreign policy labelled subversion, our challenge to Western-backed dictators characterised as rebellion, our work to generate political awareness described as radicalisation and our call for the affairs of the Muslim world to be governed by Islam branded as extremism.

Governments have even lent sympathetic ears to opportunistic individuals parroting the established government narrative by seeking to draw spurious and unfounded links between Hizb ut-Tahrir and recent events in London and Glasgow.

In the last century, Western governments conducted a brutal and unashamedly interventionist policy in the Muslim world which wreaked havoc on local populations through military occupation, economic exploitation and political repression.
But despite the concerted effort to demonise and silence Hizb ut-Tahrir, we will continue a serious and open debate on the way forward for the Muslim world.

Wassim Doureihi

                                                                                           "I don't choose where I was born" … Wassim Doureihi

Westerners must leave Muslim lands if they want to safeguard themselves against terrorist attacks, says the Sydney leader of the global Islamic group Hizb ut-Tahrir, Wassim Doureihi.

Although Mr Doureihi says his group espouses non-violence, he warns Australia to "stop interfering in Islamic land, stop enforcing rules over Muslims and allow the Muslims to assume their own political destiny … If we are really serious about protecting the lives of the people in Australia, if you want to remove the possibility of these actions occurring within these countries, then remove the original injustice."

Hizb ut-Tahrir came under scrutiny yesterday after a report it was launching a recruitment drive in Sydney and was linked to one of the London bombers. But Mr Doureihi, 28, an accountant, vehemently denied a London link.

"The Islamic position is very clear - that is, Islam condemns the killing of innocent non-combatants whether it's in London or Iraq," he said at the rented room at Greenacre where his group meets on Friday nights.

However, leaflets handed out to members refer to the "war on Islam being reignited", leading to accusations of inflammatory language. "It's very ironic," Mr Doureihi said, "that certain groups can be targeted with words they use, when at the same time bombs are being dropped on entire villages and yet the world hasn't arisen to condemn that."
He does not believe Muslims can co-exist with Western society. Asked, then, why he chose to stay in Australia, he said: "I was born in this country. I don't choose where I was born … I consider myself as a Muslim first and foremost."

Hizb ut-Tahrir supports a transnational regime under Sharia law. It is banned in a number of Middle Eastern countries, but it is not a proscribed terrorist organisation in Australia, the US or Britain.

The president of the Australian Federation of Islamic Councils, Dr Ameer Ali, said: "Whenever we come across any groups like this, who are openly, blatantly advocating violence, we bring them to the notice of the law-enforcing authorities."

However, Keysar Trad, a founder of the Australian Islamic Friendship Association, said the group was "non-integrationist but not violent".

He does not believe Muslims can co-exist with Western society. Well he‘s  got that right at least.

Xstrata blames $586m suspension on mining tax

Mining company Xstrata says it is suspending almost $600 million to develop two Queensland mining projects because of the Federal Government's proposed tax on mining profits.

Xstrata has suspended $586 million for the development of the Wandoan thermal coal project in central Queensland and the extension of the Ernest Henry copper mine in the state's north-west.

The company says the two projects would have created 3,250 new jobs which have now been put at risk.

The Federal Member for Kennedy, Independent Bob Katter, says it is a shattering blow to his electorate.

He says it should be clear to the Government that its mining tax is diabolical for the industry.

"Three thousand two hundred jobs will vanish," Mr Katter said.

"A further 1,000 permanent jobs will also vanish and unfortunately for me a significant proportion of those 1,000 permanent jobs is my own home town of Cloncurry.

"I knew this was coming, I've been desperately afraid and now the evil day has come."

Prime Minister Kevin Rudd says he expected announcements like this.

"I said at the very beginning of this debate ... that there would be ... threats of project closures, there would be projects threatened to be frozen, or frozen," he said.

"This is part and parcel of what will be the normal argy-bargy of a very tense debate.

"No mining company I've met so far has whacked up their hand and said they'd like to pay more tax."

 

Beijing’s highest ranking official in Australia, Australian Prime Minister Lu Kewen aka. “Kevin 07 Rudd” is no doubt pleased with the results so early in his governments campaign to destroy the Australian mining industry and prepare it, for his and his Labor Party’s Beijing based Masters to pick up the pieces for a song.

Lu Kewen aka.Kevin Rudd, Beijing’s very own Australian “Liar for Hire” PM

 

Rudd will pay for voodoo politics

Michael Costa
The Australian
June 01, 2010

ONE of the critical issues at the next federal election will be the character of Kevin Rudd.

After a string of broken promises, the public is asking: is the Prime Minister believable? Is he to be trusted? Does he believe in anything other than himself?

Simon Benson's new book, Betrayal, sheds light on this issue. I and others involved in the attempt to privatise sections of the power industry in NSW to fund an ambitious transport plan have known the answer to these questions for quite a while.

We have been constrained in commenting on these issues because the principal victim of Rudd's failure to display the character one would expect from a national political leader of substance remained quiet.

Morris Iemma's public exposure of the promise Rudd made to him before the previous federal election and his failure to deliver is timely and important in assessing Rudd's character. The revelations will rightly influence the next federal election.

Alan Jones, Costa & Iemma

At a personal level these events are a kind of political morality tale. On one side is Iemma, an honourable man who was motivated by a misguided but strongly held belief in labour solidarity and doing the right thing by the ALP. On the other side is Rudd, a person who made a promise and consequently accrued benefits without reciprocating when he was required to do so. It is about the selflessness and selfishness. It is about character.

Despite claims yesterday by former left-wing deputy premier John Watkins, leading figures in the Iemma state government were well aware of Rudd's promise.

Unfortunately for Watkins and the dysfunctional ALP machine's predictable attempts to place responsibility for the failure on me and my negotiating style, Iemma's revelations finally provide a context. The "Costa won't negotiate", "Costa refused to do a deal" and "Costa is mad" myths no doubt will give comfort to the cabal of self-interested incompetents that brought down a popularly elected premier and replaced him with an inexperienced and ultimately disastrous leader in Nathan Rees.

Those seeking a fuller explanation of the failed strategy now have the missing facts. These facts are critical in understanding the government's approach. The historians can fight over their interpretation of these facts. But they cannot be ignored.

The fallout from this disastrous episode of labour history remains.

What are left are unsettled disputes about the relationship between the union base and the parliamentary ALP, and questions about the role of the traditionally anonymous ALP machine in policy formulation.

Ray Hadley talks to Simon Benson

In a broader sense, the failed electricity strategy in NSW provides an insight into the contest that has been occurring in Australian party politics between politicians who believe ideas and policy are the core of politics, and those politicians who believe winning elections at any cost is the measure of success.

The latter group illogically rules out the possibility that you can do the right thing in policy terms and still win elections.

The win-at-any-cost politicians appear to be more interested in the benefits and trappings of office than undertaking diligently the responsibilities of office.

The new machine men think politics is as simple as borrowing techniques and strategies from the product marketing textbook. Politicians are now brands that can be subjected to brand management techniques. In their mind the same techniques used to sell soap powder can be equally successful in selling brand Rudd. It's a kind of voodoo politics that has turned techniques such as focus groups and polling on their head. Instead of using information derived from these techniques to adapt the message around a well-thought-out policy, they use these techniques to develop a policy.

One of the consequences of this type of voodoo politics has been a dramatic change in the status of politicians.The rise in modern political techniques is strongly correlated with the decline in public confidence in politicians.

Political spin and media management eventually catch up with a government. In Rudd's case the speed of this catch-up has been truly dramatic.

Rudd is still advised by the same people who brought down the Iemma government.

The irony is that despite their obsession with brand management techniques, their application of these techniques has been as poor as the Rudd government's administration of its stimulus packages. They've taken brand Rudd from a market share of more than 70 per cent in the last quarter to less than 50 per cent in this quarter.

If they really were in marketing, they would have been sacked for this result. The Prime Minister has only himself to blame for the mess his government confronts. What should be dawning on Rudd is that by reneging on his commitment to Iemma, he also has crippled his own re-election agenda.

The Labor Party is now dysfunctional, particularly in electorally vulnerable NSW.

If Rudd had honoured his promise to Iemma, he would have had a cashed-up state government delivering much needed infrastructure. Rudd had the political authority, after he decisively won the federal election, to deliver on his promise.

He chose to put his political popularity before the policy position. He chose to take the advice of machine men.

These same machine men no doubt are closely watching the opinion polls and planning to politically execute him if his standing in the polls continues to decline.

If this occurs, as in all good morality tales, he will have brought this on himself for not having the character to honour his promise to Iemma.

Michael Costa is a former treasurer of NSW.

I CAN’T recall when I first knew I could never trust Kevin Rudd to tell the truth.

Was it when he claimed he and his widowed mum were thrown out of their home by a heartless landlord?

Was it when he said he had a memory blank about his night at Scores?

Perhaps it was when he said during the ABC’s cricket coverage he remembered as a 17-year-old standing at the Gabba to watch Dennis Lillee and Jeff Thomson tear into the English.

He remembered the crowd chanting “Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if Thommo don’t get you, then Lillee must”, but even more clearly he remembered 42-year-old Colin Cowdrey bravely walking on to the field and shaking the hand of Thomson.

But “Ashes to ashes” was never a chant, and Cowdrey didn’t play in Brisbane, joining the tour in Perth.

Maybe I’m wrong to seize on such small stuff, or mean to object that he said “sorry” to a “stolen generations” no one can find. Another lie.

But it’s clear the public is also belatedly catching on. In fact, Rudd’s credibility is now shot to pieces.

He was fatally damaged already, having falsely claimed global warming was “the great moral and economic challenge of our time”, only to drop his emissions trading scheme when it got too hard.

But last week finished him off, and even left him exposed to what in normal times is a crime in politics - misleading Parliament. Rudd was accused, credibly, by former NSW premier Morris Iemma and treasurer Michael Costa of having lied when he told Iemma before the last federal election to postpone his plans to sell the state’s electricity assets until Rudd won office, when they’d then join to “f---” the unions. After the election, Rudd welched on that deal.

But more terrible for his reputation have been the deceits to justify his effective embezzlement of $38 million of taxpayers’ money to pay for political advertising for his troubled “super profits” tax on miners.

In how many ways has Rudd again shown his word to be worthless?

He promised before the election to ban such advertising, which he called “a cancer” and gave an “absolute 100 per cent guarantee” the auditor-general would have to approve such spending.

But the auditor-general has been sacked from that job, and Rudd has dipped into your pockets for the very same kind of “cancer”.

To excuse himself, Rudd had Special Minister of State Joe Ludwig last week offer two reasons for an exemption for “extremely urgent action”. And both reasons were frauds.

First, claimed Ludwig, there was “co-ordinated misinformation about the changes (which) is currently being promulgated in paid advertising”, which means the ads by miners.

But Rudd has since been forced to admit he’d approved the cash for these ads as long ago as April 20, weeks before the mining industry ran any of its own.

Ludwig’s second excuse was even dodgier: that the ads were needed since this new tax “involves changes to the value of some capital assets, they impact on financial markets”.

Uh, oh. Ludwig had contradicted what Rudd told Parliament the day before, when he denied his tax plan had hurt the markets: “Share prices around the world have fallen because of the crisis in Greece.”

Costa now asks: “Is the Prime Minister believable? Is he credible? ... This bloke has lost the public.”

He lost me long ago. Now I cannot think of a bigger liar to hold his high office.

Australia: Comrade Lu Kewen’s aka. Kevin Rudd’s Internet censorship almost complete

 

Access Denied Pt 1.

“The idea that the Internet is this scary place that parents don't understand, that everybody needs protection from, isn't a view that's held by most of society.

What it actually is, is a scary place that politicians don't understand, that politicians need protection from and that's why we're having this debate now.”

U.N. group seeks control of Internet
By John Zarocostas

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Published November 18, 2003

GENEVA -- Governments spearheaded by China, Brazil, India, Russia and Saudi Arabia are trying to place the Internet under the control of the United Nations or its member governments, a move that the United States and other developed countries are determined to resist.

The issue has cropped up in preparatory talks for a world summit on the information society to be held from Dec. 10 to 12 in Geneva, with the stated goal of advancing the management and worldwide use of the Internet, especially in poorer nations.
Delegates from rich and developing nations remained divided on the matter at the end of the latest round of talks on Friday, senior diplomats said.

"We will continue to fight hard to ensure that Internet governance remains a balanced enterprise among all stakeholders and continues to be private-sector-led," said the chief of the U.S. delegation, Ambassador David A. Gross.
Pierre Gagne, executive director of the world summit, earlier identified control of the Internet as one of two key issues in the talks, adding that control and financial issues "will probably be the last issues to be resolved" at the summit.
Many developing countries argue that governments need to play a greater role in managing and setting policy for the Internet, while the United States, the European Union and Japan, among others, say government interference could stifle the development of the dynamic medium.
The Internet, at present, is loosely managed by a private organization in California named the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers, which coordinates such matters as Internet servers and domain names.
Countries with developing and emerging economies would like to hand over that authority to a U.N. agency, such as the International Telecommunications Union (ITU).
The Internet medium is too important to be left in the hands of one major power, some argue, and others say problems such as cybercrime and protection of intellectual property rights require greater government involvement.
Yoshio Utsumi, secretary-general of the ITU, which will host the December summit, said in an interview that Brazil is "a very strong advocate" of his agency taking over the Internet.
China, Russia, India, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, Senegal and many other African countries were also "keen" for the United Nations to have a role, he said.
But, he said, the differences of opinion were "too big" to be settled before the delegates meet in Geneva next month. Other diplomats said there might be no decision even then.
The summit also will deal with questions such as how to block the spread of viruses, prevent unwanted "spam" and prevent the use of the medium for criminal purposes such as identity theft, Western officials said.
Russia has proposed that the final declaration address Internet security in both "civil and security fields," but many countries fear that any reference to military security could limit freedom of expression, Mr. Utsumi said.
There also is pressure for a strong statement in support of free expression on the Internet but sources said that is being resisted by China and other countries that want to maintain strong oversight of the medium.
Nitin Desai, special adviser to U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan, said the core purpose of the summit is to establish a common vision for the information society, to utilize new technologies to overcome poverty and to find ways to make Internet access affordable to all.
The president of Senegal has proposed the creation of a "global digital solidarity fund" to help poor countries establish Internet access. The ITU estimates that fewer than 1 percent of low-income country residents are Internet subscribers.
The United States and other industrialized countries say the existing mechanisms are sufficient and argue that funding a new international bureaucracy would not be an effective way to spread information technology.
Poor countries would be better served by establishing an environment in which the private sector would develop the needed infrastructure, the industrialized countries say.

Dear President Chávez,
We, the undersigned citizens of Australia, would like to extend a warm invitation for you to visit our country. We have watched developments in Venezuela with great interest. We have been impressed by the great effort that your government has taken to improve the living standards of the majority of Venezuelans. We have also noted with keen attention the moves that your government has begun to make to create a society based on popular participation in all spheres of society—from the workplace up to the national government.
Although we are on the opposite side of the globe we feel that our shared ideals of social justice and democracy bring us close together. Every country has its own traditions and culture and has to find its own solutions, but what Venezuela has been able to achieve in so little time will be a source of inspiration and ideas for many in Australia.
chavez-on-paradethat our shared ideals of social justice and democracy bring us close together”
“…..source of inspiration and ideas for many in Australia.”
In this light we believe that a visit to our country by yourself would not only help to improve the awareness of the Australian people of developments in Venezuela, but also be an unparalleled opportunity to strengthen the ties of friendship and solidarity between our two peoples.
All signatures will be posted to Nelson Davila, Venezuela’s charge d’affaires in Australia, Canberra.(Todas las firmas de invitación serán enviadas a Nelson Dávila, Encargado de Negocios de Venezuela en Australia, Canberra)

Rudd backtracks on socialist label
Samantha Maiden and Verity Edwards
The Australian
December 15, 2006
KEVIN Rudd has junked a pledge to remove the word socialism from the Labor Party's constitution just a day after denouncing it as an "arcane, 19th-century" doctrine.
Three years ago he declared himself "an old-fashioned Christian socialist", but yesterday he was busily denouncing socialism and also backflipping on a 2001 push to remove it from the ALP's constitution.
Mr Rudd has previously declared the ALP's socialist dogma of controlling "production, distribution and exchange" had nostalgia value only and was "entirely unmemorable".
When asked yesterday whether he would now take action, the Labor leader changed tack and said he had no plans to pursue the reforms at next year's ALP national conference.
"I have no plans of doing so," he said in Adelaide yesterday.
"I've already indicated where I stand philosophically in terms of the questions of my own beliefs, my own values and the priorities and objectives which I believe for a modern, progressive, democratic party.
"These are core social democratic values and I'm proud to be a committed social democrat as I have been all my life."
Mr Rudd's emphatic rejection of socialism was frontpage news in Melbourne's The Age yesterday. The newspaper's website also included video images of the Labor leader denouncing socialism but admitting he did not want workers being left to the "dung heap of the market".
"I am not a socialist. I have never been a socialist and I never will be a socialist," Mr Rudd said.
However, his bold statement of values was immediately undermined by the emergence of another declaration in 2003, when he was quoted in another Fairfax newspaper as saying: "I am an old-fashioned Christian socialist."
Mr Rudd also cites Keir Hardie, founder of the 19th century British Christian socialist movement, as one of his heroes.
In a homage to another of his political heroes, British Prime Minister Tony Blair, who fought to expunge socialism from the British Labour Party's constitution in 1994, Mr Rudd has repeatedly said the ALP should follow suit. "The socialist objective ... should be abolished," he said in 2002. "While we may not have taken the socialist objective seriously ... there are others outside the party who have - and have been fundamentally alienated by it."
Socialism has clearly been on the Labor leader's mind for a while. In his maiden speech to parliament, Mr Rudd said: "Nambour, for those of you who are unfamiliar with it, was not a major centre of revolutionary socialism in the 1970s - the cane growers hall even less so."
Former Labor Party president Barry Jones said yesterday the ALP's constitution had already been updated during a special national conference in 1981.
"(But) if there's going to be a broad debate about what we stand for that's terrific because, in a way, for some decades we just haven't talked about it," he said.
Mr Jones pointed to a discussion in his autobiography, A Thinking Reed, which refers to comments by Polish philosopher Leszek Kilakowski, who said: "The trouble with the social democratic idea is that it does not stock and does not sell any of the existing ideological commodities which various totalitarian movements offer dream-hungry youth."
